their heads, which were left under ground
until the teeth became loose. In the
northern part Of the State the alligators
hibernate, burying themselves in the mud
at the bottom Of the lakes and rivers.
These saurian monsters attain enormous
size, some of them reaching length of
eighteen feet. There is, however, but
little sport in shooting them, for they are
very sluggish and easily approached.
Perhaps the finest sport to be had In
this State is that of quail shooting.
These birds are more abundant here than
anywhere else on our continent They
are fully as large as their northern con-
geners and quite as game in every respect.
While good shooting may be had in al
most any part of the State, the northern
section possesses the most attractions for
use of gun and dog. The land is there
high and rolling and much of it under
cultivation. Before the war, this section
was the seat of the wealth and aristocracy
of the State. Though many of the old
plantations have been allowed to go to
wreck, there are still thousands of acres
annually cropped with cotton and corn.
Almost every plantation is surrounded
by magnificent forests of timber. The
pine, the live oak and magnolia grow to

with long streamers Of Spanish moss.
Beneath their spreading branches the
ground is carpeted with the most exquis-
tie wild flowers. Most noticeable
among these is the yellow jessamine, a
vine which literally covers the bushes
and smaller trees with mass Of beauti-
full bloom and makes the air fragrant
with its delicious odor. All through
this charming country there are excel.
lent roads running in every direction, 50
that the hunter can drive for miles
through field and forest, letting his dogs
work ahead of him. After the crops
have been removed from the fields rank
growth of beggar-weed springs up, af.
fording excellent cover for the birds
through the winter. In the month Of
February the farmers burn of the weeds
and commence blowing the ground, so
that the birds are then compelled to seek
shelter in the adjoining woods and
thickets. They feed In the open

There are : large number Of birds in
Florida which cannot be CHASED O. game,
but which are being rapidly killed Oh for
their beautiful plumage. Along the more
ffequented routes Of travel these birds
have almost entirely disappeared. For
merly tourists were permitted to shoot
them from the steamers, and every
would-be sportsman who could muster .
gun had his fll Of slaughter. All this
has been stopped now, but Of course It 10
too late TO do any good. These beauti-
ful plumage birds are still quite plenti-
full along the Gulf coast and on the
southern part Of the peninsula. The

heron 10 also Q beautiful bird. To see
them flying In circles. one above another,
in pyramid shape, with the sunlight glist-
enfng on their silvery plumage, ID sight

An article on Florida sport would be
incomplete without word in regard to
the alligator, though the hideous crea-
lures are by no means entitled to be
called game. Everyone who visits Flor
ida wants to zee an alligator and every
sportsman desires to add one to his bag.
Alligators have become quite scarce on
the principal routes of steamboat travel;

the st. Johns steamers have every one on
the river marked down, and can tell you
Just where to look for each one long be-
fore you arrive at his accustomed spot

southern part Of the State they are still
abundant, and thousands are killed for

90 great has been the slaughter that
there is little left for this generation
Of sportsmen. The vast extent Of
Of our domain has 20 far been the
principal protection our game has en-
1oyed, but notwithstanding our bound
less preserve many species Of game
have been practically exterminated. It
10 . singular fact that the vast plains Of
the West have been almost entirely
depleted Of game, while in the older
settlements Of the East many species
are still abundant. Il 10 safe to say
that not 1000 buffaloes are left on
the continent. Their beaten trails are
still to be seen ON the plains and thou
sands Of tons Of their bleached bones
are yearly gathered, but the buffalo is .
thing Of the past, The antelope and the
elk have shared almost the same fate.
The Indian was the best protector our
game could have had, and It must be .
sad reflection for him to know that its
destruction did more to subdue him than
our army.
Fortunately there are left to us few
spots where game may yet be had, and
to those in search of It Florida offers
attractions to be found in NO other sec.
tion OF the country. During the winter
months her climate is we'll suited to out
door life and especially to camping out.
In the northern part of the State It
rarely gets hot enough to destroy that
energy which is so necessary to the sue
cessful sportsman. Though this State
was settled earlier than any other portion
OF our country, its population has never
increased very puch until within the past
few years, and even now there is not q
county in the State which may be called
thickly settled. There are millions of
acres Of virgin forest and millions more
Of swamp. Nature has nowhere pro-
duced on our continent q finer game
preserve than here. The vast forests
mostly contain heavy underground Of
palmetto scrub which makes an excellent
cover for game.
In addition to this these are immense
cane-brakes, miles in length. and vast

ANOTHER VICTIM.
An EstImabIe and Aged Lady Killed Near
BenWood.

An EstImabIe and Aged Lady Killed Near
Benwood.
A sad accident occurred just below
Benwood yesterday morning about
o'clock, by which Mrs. Craft, ST., an
estimable aged lady, who lives neal
the Junction, met instant death, the
particulars of which are as follows
She was walking up to Centre ward to Wis
it her sister, Mrs. w. Doyle. Leaving the
county road the foot-path crosses the track
of the grade to the B. 4 o. bridge Mrs.
Craft attempted to cross this in front of q
train coming down the grade, and perhaps
did not count on the accelerated velocity
of train on q down grade, and as she was
stepping off the engine struck
her, throwing her some distance,
against pile OF cross-ties.
The conclusion and violence Of the shock,
and the force with which she was hurled
There were no bones broken except the
side Of the skull. The engineer did all that
was in his power TO avert the catastrophe.
She was about sixty years old. All heI
children are grown up and married. Hel
husband, white-haired man of sixty-five
is almost frantic with grief over the un
timely end of her who had been his com,
panion through the trials on life's journey
She will be buried Sunday at McMechen':
Cemetery.
This is the third person who has beer
killed at that point inside Of seven months
all of whom lived in that vicinity. The
road should be fenced there.
